Amerika (Om Books) – Franz Kafka

In Amerika, Kafka weaves a haunting yet darkly comedic tale of dislocation and bewilderment. The novel follows young Karl Rossmann, who is sent to America after a scandal, only to find himself navigating a bizarre and unyielding society. From towering skyscrapers to vast industrial landscapes, Kafka’s depiction of America is as much a surreal dreamscape as it is a critique of modern alienation. A story of perpetual exile, Amerika captures the bewildering pursuit of freedom in a world where the individual is often reduced to a mere cog in the machine.
